Just more press dishonesty, I guess.

From a PR perspective though I'm surprised she wasn't wearing one anyway.

To be honest the tv footage yesterday showed her brushing past people .. at one point even squeezing between two people ... I was more stunned at the poor security more than her not wearing a mask

Not going to lie it is sus and were I a more cynical person I might think designed to demonstrate that "Kate has freedom, see?". I don't know. Something feels off.

...I’m thinking that the security would have been there but just in a less visible way and she may have had some kind of alarm button or whatever fitted to her person/in her clothing etc...security was something that would create some difficulty because it could appear intimidating, which would go against everything that was being expressed in the vigil...I do agree that a ‘best practice’ mask would have been the better way for her to be seen...

Yeah I've not seen footage, but I doubt Kate was among the crowds like a normal person. She'd surely have a small entourage or something? And largely largely be in a different "section" while there?

Apparently she went "on the downlow" and was only papped by a member of the public. There will definitely have been security nearby though. The narrative is all a little odd... like I said I'd have expected "masks for PR reasons" at all times to be the default for high-profile figures, even if not technically necessary.

She could also quite feasibly have slipped in and out completely anonymously if she WAS wearing a mask - mandatory masks must be great for celebs who don't want to be recognised. A nice big facemask and a baseball cap and an A-lister could have a wander round Tesco without anyone batting an eye.

I'm assuming you actually know this is false/unknown at this point.

I'd imagine all the senior royals will have been vaccinated since they are still going about their duties?

I have to go into London this week for a hospital thing, I'm half tempted to wear big mask, sunglasses, and a cap to see if anyone thinks I'm a celeb on the DL

Though I'm more likely to look like a terrorist or school shooter than celeb...

Maybe she didnt wear the mask so she would be seen and recognised. Maybe she did this to highlight the male on female violence issues the whole thing was about.

Ridiculous when we are still supposed to be careful ,but yes lets blame the police for trying to keep the angry mob safe. What were they supposed to do let people run riot ,and spread the virus regardless of other peoples safety.

Who was running riot? from what I saw it was a peaceful day of people mourning and paying their respects. Yes they really shouldn't have been there but whatever affects that is going to have on the pandemic would've happened regardless of the police showing up to push and shove them around and do nothing but cause further gatherings like the one today.

I'm sure they could have payed their respects at home,What about the safety of other people when these masses gather ? So you think the police should of stood there and do nothing, and I am sure they would not have needed to be "shoved" around as you call it if it had all been peaceful ,you dont know what the police had to deal with,the protesters should not have gathered like that while we have this virus still rife,afterall people have pilloried celebrities etc that have broke lockdown rules.

As I already said yes they really shouldn't have been there but they were so what was done was done in that regards. What the police should have done is not escalate things, which as today shows they absolutely did. There are plenty of videos online from last night if you want to go and actually see for yourself how the police terribly handled it.

The locals were given thier moment to peacefully grieve, and reflect. They did, unfortunately outsiders didnt when the police requested everyone move on.

It's that simple.

I absolutely hate it when people diss the police ... I’m sure there’s a few wrong ‘uns but you get that in every occupation.

I dread to think where we’d all be without them ..
